We aim to empower our students with musical backgrounds and interest with cutting-edge musical knowledge. We have a range of different products tailored to different needs. Our international competitions of classical music performance allow students to compete with young musicians around the world and have helped two students win chances to play in Carnegie Hall, New York. Our Music Producer program equip students with the fundamentals of musical composition and have assisted dozens of students with their first musical creation. Our music foundation courses provide students interested in future learnings of music the basics of musical analysis. We also help students along their way when they find subjects such as AP music theory, A-Level Music, and IB music challenging.
